hello Berkcongratulations once again for your great jobdo you intend to make carbon clamp for new sram red shifters ?I'm really interested inThanks for your answer

Hi Steff,thanks! If I'm right you mean something like BTP makes? It would be of course possible to make it, actually it wouldn't be a problem at all...only need to get the right screws that I would mould in the clamp. I guess ALU would be too soft?

@artrayI'll try to get the right screws and maybe make it, I'll let you know..will go to a shop on Wednesday where they have a lot of different bolts/screws and if I find something interesting I'll just try to make it..

Yes exactly but the btp ones don't match with new red because they must be smaller ( hight) and have to receive female side sorry for my bad english

Steff, don't worry about your english because it's fine, I'm also sure that my english isn't perfect (slovenian isn't similar to english at all, and I also speak german and it's possible that sometimes I change a word also with german )

Back to the topic - I just put the clamp on a scale...and the weight

I think that I can save around 10-15g for the pair. I already have some ALU parts that would work great for a clamp like that, but the screw is too small. I'll go and buy the M6 (now I have M5) and a clamp like that should weight around 3g, or most probably even less.

Will start with that project in the next few days, I'm really interested how this will turn out, also for myself

If you can sort out the clamps as well then you might be able to create a similar aerobar system as these and at a lighter weight still. We should talk. I am thinking something along these lines BUT with a complete carbon top. Also to fit 31.8 bars.

Hi,it would be possible to make it, would only need to make the right moulds, and that's the problem - it can cost quite a lot. And carbon isn't always the best material to work with in some cases, if you know what I mean. Otherwise sorry for my late answer, just saw your question today!

And finally some good news - yesterday I get the material that I need to continue with my frame project. As soon as I'll have some more free time I'll continue with my frame project. Unfortuantely I waited for almost one month that I get the material and probably it could be already finished, but anyway, I'm not in rush at all but it would be nice to make some more progress as soon as possible

Also the study year started and I'll have some more work...but don't worry, there is always enough time for some carbon projects

Back to the Sram Red clamps - I searched for some parts that I could use for those clamps (M6 screw) but just didn't found anything with M6 (that I need), only M5 screw...But I could make it with a carbon screw (!), would be insane light, but I'm not so sure how durable it would be...I'll just try to make it and we'll see, I'll keep you updated!
